[QUOTE="Star*, post: 476107, member: 4964"] Check your county for LIHEAP..........then ask if they have a weatherization program and GET ON THE LIST. This is a FREE program that will (if their county has it) pay for (if included) insulation, windows, weather stripping, water heater, furnace, a/c, doors, underlayment, caulking, possible new flooring, - smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors. (etc) County Council and area Agency on Aging. - If your county has one. Habitat for Humanity - may have resources for building materials and or volunteer services. Local church groups that build ramps. repair and do volunteer painting, wood working, carpentry free - no strings attached. Rural Rehab Loan Improvement Council. Doubtful they qualify - unless they are so far out - HOWEVER - they may be able to point them in a direction to get funds on possible refinancing or low interest loans for remodeling. Reverse Mortgages - not a great scenario - but a last resort for necessities. Also - Check into the Matthew Lesko books - NOT Kidding.....I've gotten a TON of free stuff from them for my home - and you'd be surprised the things that you can get for your parents through the govt. on loans that no one knows exist. And programs that are out there, no one knows exist. [/QUOTE]
